Tasks of the Medical Quality Management:
Quality management is an important part of running a clinic. The hospital board is therefore responsible for the quality policy and for the definition of quality objectives within the overall strategy. The directors of the clinics and institutes as well as the heads of the departments are responsible for the implementation of quality projects and quality assurance. In the long term, quality not only leads to good medical care with excellent results, but also to a competitive advantage.
The Medical Director of the University Hospital Magdeburg A. ö.R. is the head of the quality management department, which is headed by a doctor and has the "Medical Quality Management" certificate accordant to the curriculum of the German Medical Association.
